So I was out today scrambling with a client and son. It turned out they were a journalist and a bit of a wordsmith. Considering that I write about climbing, I don’t think I have ever used the word Vertiginous to describe anything although I am regularly in places that are vertiginous.
We had a lovely day heading up the North Ridge of Tryfan and then back down Little and North Gullies. He used the word of the day to describe several places and loved the way that we gained height so quickly as we left the road.
